MassFX and MAXScript
The following topics cover the various components of the MassFX Dynamics Simulation system based on NVIDIA PhysX technology which was introduced in 3ds Max 2012.
MassFX System and User Interface Access
The Interface : nvpx Core Interface exposes the MassFX system settings to MAXScript.
The PhysXPanel : ReferenceTarget exposes the settings of the MassFX control panel and its controls to MAXScript.
NEW in 3ds Max 2013: The Interface nvpxConsts Core Interface exposes the NVIDIA PhysX Constants to MAXScript.
MassFX Modifiers
The MassFX_RBody : Modifier is used by the MassFX system to define the properties of a rigid body object.
MassFX Helpers
The UConstraint : Helper is used to define constraints in the MassFX system.
The pxJoint : Helper object is used to define joints in the MassFX system.
The Skeleton : Helper object is used to introduce animated characters as Kinematic Skeleton objects to drive MassFX simulations.
The nvRagdoll : Helper is used to define a ragdoll rig in the MassFX system.
MassFX Geometry Objects
The nvBox : GeometryClass is a dedicated geometry object used by the MassFX Rigid Body Modifier to define a custom box-shaped shell for physical simulation.
The nvCapsule : GeometryClass is a dedicated geometry object used by the MassFX Rigid Body Modifier to define a custom capsule-shaped shell for physical simulation.
The nvSphere : GeometryClass is a dedicated geometry object used by the MassFX Rigid Body Modifier to define a custom spherical shell for physical simulation.
